Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Why is a translator not required for a programme written in machine level language?

A	Because it is a high level language
B	Because it is the computers native language
C	Because it is a third generation language
D	because it has already been translated

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Answer: Translators . Computers only understand machine code (binary), this is an issue because programmers prefer to use a variety of high and low-level programming languages instead.

Detailed explanation-2: -Machine code is the only language a computer can process directly without a previous transformation. Currently, programmers almost never write programs directly in machine code, because it requires attention to numerous details that a high-level language handles automatically.

Detailed explanation-3: -A translator is required to translate the assembly language to machine language.

Detailed explanation-4: -High-level language programs must be translated into machine language before they can be executed. (Machine language instructions are encoded as binary numbers that are meant to be used by a machine, not read or written by people. High-level languages use a syntax that is closer to human language.)

Detailed explanation-5: -Compilers are a type of translator that support digital devices, primarily computers. The name compiler is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a lower level language (e.g., assembly language, object code, or machine code) to create an executable program.
